Non-bank financial companies or NBFCs are the commercial organizations that provide all kinds of banking services, but is not registered as a bank. They are not allowed to take deposits from the public depending on the jurisdiction. However, they have to follow all the banking policies before making any function.

NBFCs are more a business than a finance company. They cannot accept demand deposits, cannot issue demand drafts and cheques drawn on itself. Unlike banks, NBFCs are amalgamated under the company act of 1956. They cannot accept or renew public deposits for 12 months to 60 months. Their deposits are not insured. The repayment of deposits is not guaranteed by RBI.
